Get Ready for a Flavor Explosion
Imagine sinking your teeth into a juicy bison patty, topped with crispy bacon, melted Swiss cheese, creamy avocado, and a tangy sauté of jalapeños and onions. This is no ordinary burger – it’s a culinary masterpiece that will leave you craving more.
The Perfect Grilling Alternative
If you prefer to grill your burgers instead of broiling, simply heat your grill to medium-high and cook the patties for 10 minutes per side. Top with cheese during the last minute of cooking for a perfectly melted finish.
The Secret to Success: Quality Ingredients
To make these mouthwatering burgers, you’ll need:
- 6 slices of smoked bacon
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 medium jalapeños, seeded and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds of ground bison meat
- 6 thin slices of Swiss cheese
- 6 toasted burger buns
- 1/2 medium Hass avocado, sliced just before serving
Bringing it All Together
Heat your broiler to high and prepare a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Cook the bacon until crispy, then set it aside, reserving the fat. In the same pan, sauté the onions and jalapeños until soft and lightly caramelized.
In a separate bowl, mix together the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper. Add the bison meat and mix until just combined. Shape into 6 patties and broil until browned and cooked to your liking.
The Finishing Touches
Assemble the burgers by placing them on toasted buns, topping with cheese, bacon, avocado slices, and the sautéed onion mixture.
Wine Pairing Suggestion
For a perfect pairing, try the Ridge Three Valleys Zinfandel from California. This elegant wine complements the bold flavors of the burger with its red fruit notes and firm structure.
